I have been using Dermalogica for 10 years. I recently tried a sample of the Dermal Clay Cleanser and immediately wanted to add it to my routine. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling refreshed, without drying it out. It's a perfect mid-week treatment to incorporate into my routine.

This is my new favorite cleaner to use in the morning! It kind of gives you a minty clean feeling when you rub it in to your face and leaves your face super clean without feeling dry or tight. I would be careful with using this around your eyes, but other than that I highly recommend this if you have combination/oily skin like me!

This was recommended after a Dermalogica facial. My skin has improved a lot since I started using this product along with other prescribed Dermalogica products. I love the way it helps with my oiliness as well as the tingle of the menthol after washing.

I hate wearing makeup because I can always feel it on my face after a few hours. I started using this cleanser and tried a BB cream that I had given up on. I forgot that I was wearing it all day long. This cleanser made me realize that it was the oiliness that was bothering me and it controlled it perfectly. I'm a life-long user of this product now!

After years of looking for the right cleansing system for my skin, the dermal clay cleanser is the perfect first step for me. I use it morning and night, and it keeps my skin clear without making it feel dry or tight.

I have been using the special cleansing gel but it does not seem to be enough for my combination skin. I saw this one and was thinking in giving it a try. I'm currently pregnant. Before I buy it, I wanted to find out if this product is safe to be used during pregnancy.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Dermal Clay Cleanser is for excessively oily skin. It also has a cooling effect. If your skin is excessively oily, this may be the best option for you. If you are more combination, you may prefer Special Cleansing Gel. Special Cleansing Gel is a mild cleanser that will deep clean without stripping your skin. You only need the size of a pea, and its safe to use over the eyes. It is for oily, normal, or combination skin.

Q:

Hi thereI really love the dermal day cleanser, I used it before my wedding a couple years ago and had the skin mapping and they prescribed this and were a little less adamant on which moisturiser but i got the active light moisturiser butwhen I ran out just used drugstore cleansers and moisturizers which made my skin worse

TypicallyI have very oily skin, very large pores and lots of blackheads on my nose and some on cheeks, fine lines around eyesI'm 23, not too many pimples though

I want to purchase this again because I remember it workingBut am curious as to what moisturiser I should pair with it?Is there a particular one that is best?

Thank you for being a Dermalogica customer. If you are extremely oily, you may like Dermal Clay Cleanser, Multi Active Toner and Oil Free Matte SPF 30 (am) or Oil Control Lotion (pm).

Q:

I have an oily t-zone which is prone to get teen acne especially around my chin and blackheads on my nose. My skin tends to get worse if i use a product that is too harsh on my skin so do you think this product would be okay for me to use morning and night?

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Dermal Clay Cleanser is for a full face of very oily skin. If you have T Zone oily skin, you might prefer Special Cleansing Gel.

Special Cleansing Gel is a mild cleanser that will deep clean without stripping your skin. You only need the size of a pea, and its safe to use over the eyes. It is for oily, normal, or combination skin.

Dermal Clsy cleanser is an excellent cleanser for both men and women. Used after the pre cleanse , it is excellent at absorbing excess oil and purifying the skin. If left on the skin for a 2-3 minute period it is a quick clay mask that gives your skin that extra help it may need that day withought having to take the time to do a whole routine !!! It also has a somewhat menthol feel on the skin which is excellent if you are just waking up !!! Enjoy !!!!

Q:

How many times should i use this for my skin type?: I have just ordered this with the multi toner and active moist moisturiser. I have combination skin, but more oily around the T zone. I used the medi bac cleanser but had to stop after two weeks as it made my skin more oily and had small lumps coming out on my forehead. Will the dermal cleanser be okay to use twice a day, or should i just use it once a day?
